Just to kick start a wiki, with answers to frequent questions.
1. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. NGO-HNL is booked in business class, but HND-NGO is in economy. Will we still get the baggage allowance as if we're flying business class the whole way?
2. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. Will we have lounge access in HND?

Anyone knows whether you can access the JAL lounges when flying SIN-NRT-DFW-YYC on premium economy issued by AA? SIN-NRT is operated by JL but with AA code and rest of the segments are operated by AA with AA codes. SIN-NRT-DFW will be premium economy and DFW-YYC is economy in Y fare class.

ITM-NRT will be departing at 8am and NRT-FRA will be departing at 11am on the same day. So that's not that far in advance if I check-in at about 6:30am ;-)

Yes, should be fine. It did take much longer at ITM (close to an hour) to process the upgrade than it has at HND. In retrospect, I think it may have been due to airport check in for my onward flight wasn't open yet when I first arrived at ITM.

Thanks. I have OW sapphire but have 2 other travelling with me that do not have status. Do JL lounges have any policy where you can pay in cash/miles to bring a 2nd guest? Recall that CX allows you to use 9000 miles to gain entry to their lounges.

There are options for JAL status members to buy lounge passes for miles. But can't remember the exact details.

If your ow sapphire is with JAL, you can take one guest for free and redeem 2000 miles for a lounge coupon for another guest. If it’s not JAL ow/s then you unfortunately won’t have access.

I am an infrequent user of the JAL site. I am almost certain the last time I used it, there was an ability to do a multi-day search for CX awards.
Now it seems to only allow one day at a time. Is the multi day feature gone.....or is it my memory that is gone?

I'm curious how often the food options change at HND F lounge? Maybe it's just me.. but I've been coming through maybe 3 or 4 times the past year, always around 2-4pm in the afternoon, and it seems to me that the food options have remained exactly the same... Same ceasar and curry chicken wrap, same lobster and mushroom soup, same eel and mackerel sushi, same beef curry with rice... Do they ever change the menu at all?

I want to say there was a bigger tweak quite recently, with adding some wraps, tai yaki and other stuff. but maybe not quite as recently as I think.

The changes are fairly light, and you would probably need to look very carefully to notice them. There was a period where gyudon replaced the beef curry, but I think the popularity of the curry mean the only change are slight tweaks to the recipe over time. But yeah, overall mainly cosmetic changes. 2-4 pm excludes the teppan yaki grill both for morning and evening, there is a bit more variety in the options there.

Is there a better seat offered out there between NRT/HND/KIX and HNL/KOA by JAL or other competing carriers that is better than JAL's Sky Suite 767 (aka SS 6 or SS II) ?
